If his parents said, "Japanese people are not smart" and "not nice," then he should have said something about it. Maybe not in front of you, but he should address it and assure you that he does not agree with them on this issue.

ShermysGirl,I agree with what other people on this board have said. If he's not willing to stand up for an awesome girl as yourself, then he surely doesn't deserve you. It seems to me that you have been overwhelmingly sweet and caring to him. You have poured your heart out to this guy, and now that things don't seem as rosy anymore, you are afraid that you may never find someone like that again. I assure you that there are plenty of guys out there that would love to be involved with you, simply because you're an all-around great girl. As for Shermy, it is hard to make people change in a relationship. Some things can change, but others are just personality traits which often do not change after a certain age. He even told you that you guys probably wouldn't change...a guy that is willing to work things out would not say this. Maybe he's right? I had a similar situation with one of my ex's. We had constant arguments about the dumbest things on a daily basis...that's when I figured out it would be better to split up. I really hope you can work this out since I know you care for him a lot, but don't be afraid to say good-bye if that's what your heart tells you. All of the LSD faithful are behind your decision!!!
